Abstract

The Altar basin found in the north western Sonora of Mexico, is a known subsidiary basin forming the present inactive part of the Colorado River delta. The sedimentary records of this basin show how the delta upgraded over a late Miocene. A structurally distinct aquatic basin at the northern end of the Gulf of California is found. Our interpretation of outcrop data, and information from exploratory wells, as well as analog seismic lines of Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), and magnetic and gravity explorations from various sources pointed to the existence of three sedimentary sequences, which can be related at regional scale ...

Summary of the geotechnical and structural problems of the I-495 Bridge

The I-495 Bridge in Wilmington, Delaware experienced geotechnical and structural problems leading to its closure. According to structural engineers, the closure of the bridge was following an external force that caused the four pillars of the bridge to tilt. The 11-mile long bypass through the bridge remains closed for an unknown time. The tilting pillars were because of a shifting force on the earth surface, but the engineers had not yet identified the source. Engineers and workers are using shovels, and high-powered sensors to discover the main cause of the shifts on the ground (Nann, and Jeff 1).

The media is a powerful thing in today’s modern world. No matter where we go, it seems there is always a screen in our face. We have the ability to watch television shows, movies, and advertisements from any device imaginable. Whether it is from the comfort of our living room sofa, watching on our big screen television, or from a chair in a quiet coffee shop, watching from our small cellphone screen, we carry the media with us wherever we go. While this may seem like a luxury and a comfort, at times it can be negative. This is more apparent when dealing with ...

On the surface, the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight appears to be a simple tale of a knight who accepts a difficult quest and, fulfilling it, returns to the court at Camelot, victorious. However, upon further exploration of the poem, much about its meaning becomes increasingly ambiguous. For example, the poem’s fourteenth century poet could have had a very different intent concerning ideas of chivalry and temptation than a modern reader may assume after reading the poem. Literary scholars argue over the meaning of Sir Gawain in terms of ideas about chivalry, temptation, the role of women, and the place of ...

The image of Ophelia is one of the most striking examples of Shakespeare's dramatic skill and the whole drama in general. This female character from the play The Tragedy Of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark cannot be considered sufficiently developed, but the essence and the role given to her by Shakespeare makes rethink the whole plot of the tragedy. The author empowered this character with a significant role, which ends in death. The nature and the causes of Ophelia's death is a self-contained topic for research. As it is known, Ophelia dies under rather strange circumstances that have suicidal implication. ...

Early psychoanalytic critiques of literary works were concentrated on examining works of literature to gain insights into the author’s personal influences on his work. Such critiques therefore remained within the traditional field of psychoanalysis. For instance, Ben Karpman wrote that, “Gulliver's Travels furnish abundant evidence of the neurotic make-up of the author and discloses the presence in him of a number of perverse trends indicative of fixation at the anal-sadistic stage of libidinal development (Karpman 29).” However, critics like Ernest Jones came out of this traditional approach to analyze the text and not the author, such as he ...

When any student begins their educational journey, together with their parents and caregivers, it is often an assumption that everything will work out well. The belief tends to be that the child will learn and understand all the concepts beginning from the most basic tasks, such as learning to write alphabetic letters, to the more complex tasks, such as solving challenging algebraic equations. However, this is not always the case, as some children, not only when they are young but also as they grow older, face many challenges that affect their learning.

“A generation ago, three-quarters of the money used to buy food in the United States was spent to prepare meals at home. Today about half of the money used to buy food is spent at restaurants--mainly at fast food restaurants.” says Eric Schlosser in his book, Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal.

Hygiene is often something we consider when examining different cultures around the world. We often wonder what cleaning rituals different people have, and how they define the word, “cleanliness” themselves. Something we sometimes overlook, however, is dental hygiene when we are examining cleanliness. Specifically, we overlook how dental hygiene differs in care and cultural beliefs between two different groups. Take, for example, the people of Saudi Arabia, and the African American communities of the United States. Some of their oral hygiene practices are the same, due to poverty, or education. Others are different due to cultural and religious beliefs. ...

Re-locatable Power Taps
Re-locatable power taps are also commonly known as power outlet strips. They consist of an attachment plug on one side that plugs directly to a permanent power receptacle and multiple power receptacles terminated in a single enclosure on the other side. A flexible power cord joins the two sides together. The rule of thumb that needs careful observation is that power taps must always connect to a permanently installed circuit receptacle. For safety reasons, they should never at any one time connect to another power tap, an action commonly referred to as daisy-chaining. Power taps are only suitable ...

Oedipus tragedy is predicted even before his birth in the oracle of Apollo at Delphi, as his father, Laius, will meet his fatal death in his hand and he will marry his own mother, Jocasta, when he grows up.

Aristotle’s panorama about Oedipus is vividly described in the following lines: “must be one who is highly renowned and prosperous-a personage like Oedipus” (Poetics XIII paragraph 2) and “he who hears the tale ...

Psychoanalysis is a technique of studying how certain people behave when they are subjected to different prevailing factors. In order for psychoanalysis to be effective, the psychoanalyst needs to ensure that the individual or group people, who are under observation, are not conscious of the factors, which influence their behavior and emotions.

So as, to ensure that the affected person is able to undergo through treatment successfully, the psychoanalysts assess the entire history ...

Mary Shelley’s classic, Frankenstein, can be read in a number of ways but the most common is with a focus on the monstrous creation of Doctor Frankenstein; the confusion being whether the name ‘Frankenstein’ refers to the creation or the creator. It is highly likely that Shelley would have left this deliberately ambiguous so as to raise the question of who is the real monster in the novel. It is fair to say that society is often damning of any new concept or idea and does not fail to live up to expectations in this novel. Here, we witness the ...

He also says “A divorced family may actually be better for children’s psychosocial development.” He explains ...

In Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily,” the story is told through the collective consciousness of the town, acting as a narrator that constantly switches between events and events. Gossip is the means by which the combined information about Emily is disseminated throughout the town; this adds an air of mystery to the woman, as everyone wonders about her relationship with Homer. By the time the townspeople happen upon Homer’s body, they certainly learn that, but in the meantime, all they can do is speculate. Faulkner expresses this speculation and fascination with Emily’s activities by having the narration ...

On the Texan Death Row, how many inmates have expressed sorrow and remorse, and how many of them have expressed anger.

Understandably, if the prisoner is aware of their innocence or guilt, then they are far more likely to act accordingly: if an innocent man was charged and sentenced to be placed on death row amongst the absolute scum of the Earth, it would be understandable for him to express a lot of anger. However, for the prisoners who have been charged and their innocence not proven, some express remorse whilst others express anger anyway. The purpose of this essay ...
